Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed 2014 Parks Capital Facilities Plan.

Background

The 2014 Parks Capital Facilities Plan was approved by the Parks, Recreation and Senior Advisory Board in September 2013 and recommended to the City Council for its approval.

Previous Actions (Discussions/Presentations)

The 2014 Parks Capital Facilities plan was presented to Council at the October 29, 2013 budget presentation. In response to Council comments, the plan was amended to include that staff will research additional options regarding future Riverwalk Trail development to present to the Advisory Board and Council before specific projects are identified. Additionally, part-time maintenance staffing is included in the 2014 CIP budget but will be readdressed during the 2015 budget process.

Summary of Proposal

The attached Capital Projects Facilities Plan has been prioritized by the Parks, Recreation and Senior Advisory Board. This plan is currently included in the updated Parks, Recreation and Open Space Plan which passed first reading on February 4, 2014. The City must have an approved Parks Capital Facilities Plan in order to qualify for state grants.

Alternatives/Options

Council can adopt this amended Parks Facilities Plan as presented or choose to make further revisions.
